Working on merging FLUXNET and AmeriFlux, advising LBL and the Biomet Lab on next generation FLUXNET database.

Mid August to Mid September, 2002.

Fluxnet Visiting Scientists. Worked on the use of neural networks to fill gaps in data and to produce integrated data sets for spatial integration of fluxes. We also started a synthesis of geographic variation of factors affecting carbon fluxes of ecosystems.

Worked on implementing the CANOAK-ISOTOPE model for use at the Hainich EuroFlux/Fluxnet site. We also made improvements to the Dispersion Matrix code that is linked to CANOAK. (we also got him involved in our weekly soccer games and he made us great apple streudel).

Compiling raw datasets of turbulence data to examine the role of low frequencies and long averaging on flux covariances. Producing standard software for data processing and viewing.

Modeling the effect of soil moisture deficits on stomatal conductance.

Laurent returned to Berkeley working as a postdoc in the Goldstein lab, through 2006. And he served as host for DDB's sabbatical in Montpellier, France in 2007. Laurent tragically died in a skiing accident in the Alps in 2010.
